It ought to be. Any modem program that uses interrupts to receive characters
(like Z-Link) should be able to work at speeds up to 9600 baud. Any program
which doesn't use interrupts (such as Kermit) would have to poll the serial
port at a pretty high rate.

I wrote Z-Link. Send me bug reports.           I use a //GS. Send me Tech Info.
